Re^2: "Can't happen" bugs

Shouldn't another perl also honor my PERL5LIB, which after all is in the environment?

Since posting I've found that there are, in fact, two loadings of Scalar::Util in the strace dump. The first one finds my version as desired. The second does not! Since this was an strace -fF on make, not perl, it may very well be that a second interpreter (whether another installation or another instance of the same one) is being invoked. But the question is now: under what circumstances is the environment override (which prepends to @INC, by design of course) ignored? Or is there someone who is weeding my @INC?

Hmmm. Maybe taint mode does this! *dives in again*

Par::Packer uses Module::Install and it looks like it is doing some auto installation (ick) -- and that might be invoking another interpreter. You might want to take this up on #par or with the Module::Install people. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
